EDWARDS, Colorado - A recent article by CNNMoney entitled "How does your community college stack up?" ranked Colorado Mountain College in the top 20 out of nearly 800 community colleges around the nation for successful graduation and transfer rates. The list compared colleges with more than 200 full-time freshmen.

CMC garnered the 17th slot nationally and came in first for the state of Colorado. This places the college in the top 2 percent of success rates among all medium-sized public community colleges. The success rate is drawn from each school's federally reported rates of student graduation within three years or transfers to a four-year college.

"This is wonderful news for our students and our stakeholders," Jill Boyle, senior vice president of Colorado Mountain College, said in a statement. "This study illustrates the exceptional quality of the academic programs available at our college."

The article by CNNMoney pointed to the growing trend of students attending community colleges because of affordability.

Florida Keys Community College (FKCC) has implemented the Banner Recruiting & Admissions Relationships and Performance solutions from SunGard Higher Education (www.sungardhe.com/EM) two months ahead of schedule in an effort to help manage and measure its enrollment efforts.

“Our recruiting efforts needed to become more strategic in response to changing demographics and increased competition,” said Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle, president of Florida Keys Community College. “Banner Recruiting & Admissions Performance will help us measure which marketing efforts are the most effective, and make adjustment decisions that are based on timely data.”

“Some students and Florida Keys Community College alumni twisted my arm to get back in school.” Vandenabeele reminisced.

He had dropped out in South Carolina, but at their urging, registered anyway. Electing to take a SCUBA diving class.

“I took my first breath underwater, and that was it,” Patrick tells The Key West Weekly, “the experience gave me direction.”

Friday, the board of trustees and college officials dedicated the James E. Lockwood, Jr. School of Diving and Underwater Technology. College President Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle recalled when she first caught wind of the donation.
